maybe if this was the hinted "Sith" power Palpatine/Sidious was talking about - to stop people from dying (well, not really, but a Sith doesn't always tell the truth or maybe they misunderstood this force gift?)
Anakin just vanishing and turning up for the victory party, only for a short moment, is strange - better explain the why and what in the PT
so in the OT we see it and in the PT we get a little more insight on the how, but not too much, as people don't like "midis" in their blood ;-)
Yeah I agree with you that my take would only work if Vader did not vanish.
But if you take in to account the "Sith Power" that was hinted at also... Then you are astute as this is the only thread from the PT that I would consider altering the OT to fit with the PT.
This mystical power that Sidious talked about was about the best thing the PT had going for it although the context in which it was used was perhaps not very well thought out with Padme and Anakins mother.
Anyway yeah I was seriously thinking about doing a proper edit of ROTJ which would amalgamate many ideas from others and my own, and the "Sith Power" would come to bear in the throne room which is not the finale. The emperor would kill Luke in front of Vader... Vader then Kills the Emperor and while on his last legs brings Luke back to life with this "Sith Power".
This is for emotional purposes and nothing else. Think about Luke coming back from the grave and then trying to save his father who was dying. The prophecy plays out "He was so powerful that he could save others, but not himself" This was to be the the "Big surprise" whilst the brother/sister plot played out differently. Anyway I nearly committed to doing it but ultimately decided I could not be bothered. I was going to show the severed robotic hand of Vader glow and try to show the smoke coming off luke get sucked back into his body before he get's up and runs over to Vader by the railing.
This was to be my final cut on it which I have already thought a lot about ROTJ and seen many edits of it already. So ROTJ would have started at the end of ROTS and then transition to Luke on Dagobah an extended prologue of sorts but filling in the back story as ROTJ progressed and not always in time line order.
